A grocery budget handover for a new cook
Before giving a cook purchasing responsibility, define who approves the menu, spending limit and substitutions.
Define the requirement
Before giving a cook purchasing responsibility, define who approves the menu, spending limit and substitutions. A grocery budget should distinguish routine staples from special purchases. Keep receipts and a simple balance record. Start with limited purchasing authority and expand it only after the process is working consistently.
Put it into practice
Give the new hire a sample list and ask what they would do if a preferred ingredient costs more than expected. Agree a contact method for approval and what happens if you cannot answer. Avoid judging spending against an unstated budget or changing portion expectations after purchases are made.
